Ingredients

  • 3 pound boneless pork shoulder roast picnic roast
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1 sprinkle pepper
  • 15 ounce pineapple Chunks in Juice, undrained
  • Sweet BBQ Sauce
  • pineapple if desired for serving
  • Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

  • In a 5 quart or larger crockpot place pork roast. Stab repeatedly with knife so that the juices and seasonings can penetrate the roast.
  • Sprinkle with garlic salt, ginger, and pepper. Pour the can of pineapple chunks and their juice over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • When done shred with 2 forks right in the crockpot.
  • Remove some of the meat from the crockpot and place in a skillet. Heat with some BBQ sauce and additional pineapple if desired.
  • Serve on toasted buns and top with fresh cilantro.Double and Freeze
  • If you have a large crockpot you can use a larger roast and freeze the extras for another night. I cooked a 6 lb roast on high for 8 hours. When ready to freeze store in a labeled airtight container for up to 2 months. When ready to serve; defrost and reheat in a skillet with sauce.
